I looked through the xorg log and it looks like it is picking up reasonable
possible modes for the monitor from direct probing.
However the modes I would like are being rejected when checked against the
video card as either "width too large for virtual size" or "height too large
for virtual size".
I remember seeing some discussion about the nv driver recently in regard
to rawhide installs, so I'll see if I can find those or just drive to
use the other driver.
